Suppose the Vikes' dysfunctional family does not resolve their problems to Allens liking this off-season. Given that his disagreements were with the previous Chiefs regime, suppose he is open to a trade back to the Chiefs. I'm curious to know:

1- Would you want him back to compliment Tamba as our pass-rushers, or would you prefer that we got a stud pass-rusher in the draft possibly requiring a high draft choice?

2- If so, would you accept a price similar to what they gave us for him?

3- If not, what would he be worth IYO?

I wouldn't mind having him, but no way would I give up a 1 and 2 for drunkass Jared Allen. Would rather try the draft.

I'd probably trade a 2nd for him, because we won't have one of the really early second rounders, then maybe a 5th.. but nothing more than that, no way.

Like hell. There is no reason to bring him back with his attitude. His dissatisfaction with the Vikings is a translation of his former with the Chiefs. He may come back with fresh motivation, but his track record shows that it won't be worth it.

I agree, stick with pulling in some younger guys. Allen isn't worth a trade.

Pro: He visited Brett Favre prior to the start of the 2010 regular season at his home in Mississippi and helped convince him to sign with the Dykes.

Con: He could visit Brett Favre at his home in Mississippi in 2011 and convince him to sign with the Chiefs.

Pro: He could provide motivational speeches to teenagers and young adults about the dangers and hard times that living in prison creates if they don't get scared straight now.

Con: <-- Yep, Jared Allen could be the con on the inside scaring them s#!tless and creating dangers and hard times for them when JA gets snagged for another DUI.

Pro: He could prepare delicious and nutritious pre- and post-practice meals at training camp for the team by using the skills he learned while attending the Culinary Arts Academy, enhancing Coach Todd Haley's emphasis on players' fitness and diet regimen.

Con: NAH!!

Boy, you people hold grudges.

Jared didn't hate the Chiefs. He hated Carl Peterson. We don't hate the Chiefs. We hated Carl Peterson. Jared produced sacks by the bushel when the defense stank. We like sacks by the bushel, and our defense no longer stinks. We all know that we're one or two pass rushers short of having a scary defense. Bygones can be bygones in this scenario.

Now, having said all that, there are two problems with the Jared Allen return scenario.

First, as mentioned earlier, he doesn't fit our defense very well. He's not big enough to be a DE or DT other than a niche role like Gilberry has. And I don't see him making the transition to linebacker like Hali did. He simply doesn't fit.

Second, which is more Pioli's concern than mine, is value. He was a screaming deal for fifth-round draft pick money. For his one billion and sixty-nine dollar contract he may not be worth it. But it doesn't matter because he doesn't fit our scheme well enough to pursue anyway.

Allen was never a game changer. One of the reasons that he was gotten rid of was his lack of sacks in crunch time, i.e. when the team needed it most. The guy is a garbage sack collector. Again, in the biggest game of his career he showed up small against a rookie left tackle. Feel free to explain that away if you'd like.

OK you've posted this three times now. But how did he change in an "important" game? Did he wake up that morning as his evil lazy twin? Anybody can have a bad game, or a bad year for that matter. But to say one's physical ability changes in a particular game is a reach, IMO. I accept the argument that he may not fit our D system. I posted this thread with that fully in mind, but to say that a talented DE just shows up as a no talent bum in a particular game and will do so in "crunch" time is pushing it.

Frankie, this has been discussed in the past on several occasions.

Had Jared Allen been with the Chiefs in 2009, he'd have likely been traded by Pioli because he does not fit the 3-4 defense.

Allen performs best in a three-point stance, where he's able to use his length and speed to get around opposing tackles. That's his skill.

If you put him in a two point stance, he becomes a tall, slow player. The opposing tackle would have the advantage and Allen's effectiveness would be cut in half, if not more.

With all due respect Dane, please don't do this. There's really no way to tell.
We heard over, and over about how the personnel we had did not fit into the 3-4, only to watch them improve dramatically within the scheme.
Dorsey is doing well at DE when everyone said he wouldn't, DJ has excelled, when everyone said he could not play 3-4 MLB, and Tamba has been a force at OLB when no one gave him a chance in hell (including me) at becoming what he has become.
For all we know Jared could be a better OLB, than DE. After all, he would be rushing the passer most snaps, and would also allow us to play more packages, having him with his hand in the dirt.
I would take him back at this point for a low first. He's having an off year. Who on the Vikings' squad isn't?
Make no mistake JA is a Bad MoFo. Throw him in with this group, and he would be a nightmare.

Jared got owned in the biggest game of his career by a rookie left tackle. Do you think that a Michael Strahan or Bruce Smith or someone of that caliber would get owned by a rookie left tackle in a big game? Especially in their PRIME?

Allen is a guy that collected a lot of meaningless sacks, but showed up small in clutch situations. Carl Peterson, for all of his bullshit, pointed this out during/after the trade. Probably another reason why Jared hated him, but Carl had that right. Jared came up small when it mattered. But hey, he got paid and he's real popular because he had a mullet and acted like an idiot. I hope someone takes him out at the knees one day. He's a POS.

Jared Allen is 6'6, 270 pounds. His body is suited as a 4-3 defensive end.

Tamba Hali is 6'3. That's a HUGE difference when playing OLB.

If 7.5 sacks through ten games is considered an "off" year, I'd say the guy is pretty damn good.

Furthermore, Pioli shipped off the guys not suited for 3-4 in Tyler, McBride and others. I'm pretty certain that he'd have done the same with Jared Allen.

I pointed out over the years many of the things you've mentioned in this thread (no impact in the 4th quarter, disappears for stretches) and I was solidly behind the trade. The Chiefs are better off with Charles and Albert than they'd have been with Jared Allen (who I'm certain Pioli would have traded, and for lessor value considering the talent in the 2009 draft).

But with that said, he's not worth a $70 million dollar contract and he's not the best defensive end in the league but he is far from "junk".

I am glad he's no longer with the Chiefs and no, Frankie, he's not worth bringing back.

My point about him being junk is really in comparison to how he's viewed by most. He's not a game changer, or an impact guy. Yet he's viewed that way. I'm trying to think of a guy I would compare him to from the past. Maybe Simon Fletcher of the Donkeys. Racked up lots of sacks but they were meaningless.
